00:00 Lady Gaga revealed that Tony Bennett was the inspiration behind one of her tattoos.

00:05 In 2014, the "Telephone" singer had her pal draw her ink, telling People that same year,

00:11 "I asked Tony to draw me a trumpet, and he sketched me Miles Davis's trumpet. Then I had

00:17 it tattooed with his name, Benedito, underneath, just so I would always remember this time together."

00:23 The powerhouse pair became close friends before the "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" musician

00:28 died on Friday at the age of 96. They bonded in 2011 at a charity event where she sang "Orange

00:35 Colored Sky." "Tony heard me sing it and he asked to meet me. He said, 'Do you want to do a jazz

00:41 album together?' I said, 'Of course I do.' We were fast friends," Gaga told the outlet back in 2014.

00:48 The duo later went on to make two jazz albums together. She has not yet spoken out publicly

00:55 since his death. In 2018, the 37-year-old was so excited to see her buddy,

01:00 she adorably crashed his interview with Access Hollywood at the Grammys.

01:04 "You were saying to me you were working out three and four times a week. Is that still the case?"

01:08 "Yep." "Really?" "Yeah." "You worked out today?" "Yeah." "I can't believe it."

01:13 "Tony, you have a surprise visitor." "We've got a surprise visitor. What do we got here?"

01:16 "Hey, baby. Lady Gaga." "Hey, baby. How are you?" "I'm fine. I'm fine." "You look so handsome."

01:22 "You're so beautiful." "I love it." "We were just talking about bringing the Grammys back to New York,

01:31 what it means to have them back at home again." "Oh, it's wonderful. Isn't this a great time?

01:36 And at the iconic Madison Square Garden. I feel so happy to be here." "What do you think of Tony's

01:41 new mustache?" "I love it. I love everything Tony does. Tony's always got it just right."

01:48 "I agree. Mr. New York right here." "Oh, I missed you." "Thank you, sir. Good to see you." "I love it.

01:55 I love it. Don't you just light up when you see him?" "I always do. He's a very dear friend of

02:00 mine and he's been there through the good times and the bad. I love singing with him so much

02:06 and I'm just so happy to see you, to be honest." "Well, I've seen you a lot, but I never saw you

02:11 looking better than tonight." "Aww." "What do you love about this look tonight, Tony?"

02:17 "What?" "What do you love about this look on her tonight?" "I like everything she does."

02:21 "See, it's mutual." "It's mutual love." "Cheek to cheek."

02:26 "Aww." "I love it."
